Abstract

The present paper examines the contexts and consequences of sentence splitting in English, Czech and French translated fiction. In the data extracted from a parallel (multilingual) corpus, we analyze first a language-specific context of sentence splitting (sententialization of non-finite verb forms in translations from English and French into Czech), and second, contexts of splitting occurring in all directions of translation. We conclude that sentence boundaries are usually introduced at the point of a sentence entailing the fewest modifications in the target sentence, especially between two coordinate clauses; and that a systematic sentence splitting, deeply modifying the style of the source text, involves the effect of simplification and normalization.

英语-法语-捷克语翻译中分句的语境与结果

本文研究了英语、捷克语和法语翻译小说中句子分裂的语境和后果。在从平行(多语言)语料库中提取的数据中，我们首先分析了特定语言的句子分裂上下文(英语和法语翻译成捷克语时非有限动词形式的句子化)，然后分析了在翻译的各个方向上发生的分裂上下文。我们得出的结论是，句子边界通常是在句子中需要在目标句中进行最少修改的地方引入的，特别是在两个并列子句之间;系统的分句，深刻地改变了源文本的风格，涉及到简化和规范化的效果。

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
